It is 1775 again....Are you ready to be free? If you do not
act now, you soon will lose your opportunity to be free. From its beginnings in
the late eighteenth century, the fundamental goal of the modern political Left
has been to promote (or in Leftist parlance, "celebrate") every thing that is
depraved and bestial in human nature, up to and including democidal mass murder.
Now, upon the wreckage of our once-strong country, the Left is poised to usher
in the all-pervasive bureaucratic-regulatory despotism that they have craved for
generations. Except…one small wrench is about to the thrown into the cogs of
their evil machine. Look in the mirror: You are that wrench. You have one more
chance to get it right. Suppose, as our country falls to ruin, we set a deadline
for avoiding this catastrophe? If we are serious about freedom, each of us needs
to think, individually and together, about how exactly we will implement a free
society. It will not "just happen" because of the passage of a date or because
we want it badly enough. Societies have been forged before; we can do it again,
if we understand what is necessary. What resources are necessary for a free,
self-reliant, self-sustaining society? What basic supplies do you need for
survival? What do you need to know if you are serious about freedom? The
"Founding Fathers" were among the few in history who looked at the pitiable
state of freedom and said, "We are going to make it happen - we are going to get
it right!" We need to follow their example. July 4, 2014: The Day That Freedom
Shall Be Restored answers these important questions: * What is the crisis that
faces us? * When is our deadline for a solution? * What is government? * What is
the source of our tradition of liberty? * What is the history of the philosophy
of freedom? * Does history show to us the choice between good and evil? * What
are our Four Options? * Is secession a valid option? * How would we fix our
federal government? * What resources do we need to survive? * Who will join us
in freedom? * What is our "special relationship" with Canada? * What do we need
to do for to meet our deadline? * What type of character is needed for this
task? July 4, 2014: The Day That Freedom Shall Be Restored is a handbook, and
guideline, to one important and necessary strategy for reclaiming the birthright
of our liberty. It is an intellectual handbook, and a practical handbook, and a
spiritual handbook. Intellectual: It will help you to understand the ideals of
freedom - what they mean, how they developed, why they are important, and how
they can be defended. Practical: It will provide advice on what to do to
establish a free society. Spiritual: It will offer encouragement and "moral
support" for this difficult task ahead. A free society, populated by citizens
committed to an ethic of responsible personal liberty, is the only society that
promotes peace, encourages honesty, and therefore enables our prosperity and
happiness. When the sun sets on that July day, you will find the light of
liberty shining even brighter. July 4, 2014: The Day That Freedom Shall Be
Restored is the explosive new book by D. C. Alan...part philosophy, part policy,
part history, part commentary, and 100% outrageous!

In your June 11th, 2013 editorial titled “Commissioners must ensure conversation occurs in wake of secession plan” you wrote that the political leadership at the state capitol “aren’t willing to listen and learn about this (the rural) part of the state.” I would agree wholeheartedly with that statement. The arrogant and imperious attitude of the politically powerful in Denver is precisely the reason why ideas like the “51st State Initiative” are being discussed and debated at all.

I certainly don’t expect local newspaper editorial boards to embrace legal separation. What conservatives in Greeley do expect, however, is time to analyze the issue and decide whether to support or oppose it by themselves. So far, it seems to me your papers’ inclination is to minimize popular support for the effort. Headlines such as “Northeast Colorado counties favor more representation instead of secession” and “Rural-urban tensions true, say northeast Colorado residents, but few want to form 51st state” are recent examples that highlight this apparent bias. Of course rural Coloradans would rather have their elected representatives reflect the values of those of us living outside the metropolitan Denver area. That would obviously be the preference of every citizen. But is that likely to happen? I would argue it is highly unlikely based on recent history.

To my knowledge, no reputable polling firm has taken the time to conduct a scientific poll on the issue since the public discussion began several weeks ago. As the Greeley Tribune is well aware, on-line polls are decidedly non-scientific and are easily manipulated by activists, cynics, or those with an axe-to-grind. What on-line polls can do is to frame the debate in a negative light for the supporters or opponents of any particular topic. I would argue that the provocative language of the Tribune’s recent on-line poll (Should the Weld County commissioners table the 51st state proposal?) did just that, and was strongly biased in favor of opponents of the 51st State Initiative.

The Tribune has written in the past that it was a good thing for Weld County Commissioners to, at a minimum, have a ‘conversation’ about the Initiative. We assumed you meant unbiased and factual conversation. To that end, might I suggest that at least for the time being, you be more careful about the language you use in your on-line polls, or even better, switch to a method that cannot be so easily manipulated. A minor disclaimer about the on-line poll being “unscientific” is kind of a cop-out if you are trying to push the debate in one direction or another.

The only poll on this topic that means anything will come on Election Day, when voters in Northern Colorado cast their ballots for or against the idea of creating their own state. How about your editorial staff just letting the voters decide for themselves, until that time comes, instead of trying to steer the debate in one direction or another.

"The proper role of government, however, is that of partner with the farmer -- never his master. By every possible means we must develop and promote that partnership -- to the end that agriculture may continue to be a sound, enduring foundation for our economy and that farm living may be a profitable and satisfying experience." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

This was a quote sent to me by Amy Bradley Bamford from Phillips County that I thought would be fitting to share. For generations, agriculture has formed a strong foundation for Colorado and our country. That foundation has come under attack in recent years from overreach by both the Federal and State governments. Farmers and ranchers have found it increasingly difficult to make a living.

Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith speaks to a crowd earlier this year while sheriffs from across the state gathered to speak against Colorado's new gun-control measures. / Associated Press file photo

Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith reached into his own wallet to cover expenses incurred while he lobbied against Colorado’s new gun restrictions earlier this year.Inspection of his county-issued credit card spending records and reimbursements showed that Smith bought no meals and accepted no repayment for costs associated with his many trips to Denver to oppose new gun laws debated in the Legislature.Smith said he traveled in his county sheriff’s cruiser and paid for meals out of his own pocket, although he said if other sheriffs who united to lobby against the gun legislation claimed costs it would have been justified.It’s not unusual for Smith to absorb small costs associated with doing his job, he said. And he and other sheriffs expected great scrutiny of their practices from gun-law proponents, so he was careful not to run up a tab at taxpayer expense while taking a stand at the state Capitol.“We knew as sheriffs — I knew personally — it would go to personal attacks,” Smith said. “It would be a bit naive to think that the opposition is not going to attack you.”State Rep. Randy Fischer, D-Fort Collins, supported the gun legislation that Smith opposed. He said the sheriff did the right thing by sparing the county the costs associated with his lobbying effort.“I think that’s totally appropriate,” Fischer said. “It would not have been appropriate to bill the county while lobbying on an issue at the state Capitol. I think he followed the rules of good governance.”Smith said he hasn’t kept track of how much he’s spent during the campaign against new gun laws, and he does not plan to claim those costs as job-related expenses on his taxes.“I don’t track that stuff. I wouldn’t even have a number,” Smith said. “I’m not somebody that donates my underwear to Goodwill and writes it off.”He’s not certain how many trips out of town he took to fight the gun laws, considering that the topic tends to come up almost everywhere he goes.“For gun control advocates, one (trip) was too many,” he said. “For people who stand up for civil rights, the trips I took were not enough.”

Smith acknowledged that he accepted his salary for the time spent lobbying and used a county vehicle to travel to and from legislative hearings, but he contends that he’s on duty and being paid for service around the clock anyway.Smith, a Republican, and other sheriffs from both parties beat back some proposals by the Democratically controlled Legislature. But a ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines and universal background checks on gun transfers passed and were signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat.Now Smith and more than 50 other sheriffs are suing the governor in an attempt to squelch the new laws.In Smith’s mind, sheriffs haven’t overstepped their elected roles by interjecting themselves so deeply into the conversation, because, he said, he has an obligation to defend the U.S. Constitution, and constituents who share his belief that the gun legislation infringes on Second Amendment rights pushed him and other sheriffs into action.“This is one where all heads turned to us (sheriffs),” he said. “This is our Alamo. We feel obligated. (Citizens) felt like a lot of other elected officials had abandoned them.”Although he stands on the opposite side of the gun debate from the sheriff, Fischer said Smith is entitled to fight for his principles before the Legislature, and that sheriffs are not overstepping their elected duties to insert themselves into the gun debate.“As elected officials, they don’t have to check their opinions at the door when they take office,” Fischer said. “I know that Sheriff Smith is committed to trying to make his views known on this. I can’t fault him for that. We obviously have a disagreement on the issue, but I can’t really criticize him for getting involved in it. As long as he’s upholding his duties as sheriff, it’s appropriate for him to voice his opinions.”Colorado sheriffs are girding against even more restrictive gun laws that they expect will be considered in the state soon. Smith points to California as an example of what he anticipates on the horizon here.The California Legislature is considering measures that would require registration of assault weapons by people who own them legally, restrict purchases of ammunition and expand the categories that disqualify citizens from gun ownership to include certain misdemeanor convictions, among other legislation.“We were told by the proponents of the gun-control measures that we were blowing something up, that all they want is that little bit,” the sheriff said. “But look at California. Nobody with a straight face could say that’s not what’s going to be pushed here next.”Fischer said he has no plans to introduce further firearm legislation, and he is unaware of any that is planned.“But we oftentimes don’t know that until the (legislative) session starts,” he said.Smith is adamant that he would protect the First Amendment or any other constitutional right as ardently as he has the second.“If we don’t,” he said, “why should anybody have any faith in their sheriffs?”

It does matter who you elect as your Sheriff: This story confirms that gun registration does lead to gun confiscation. The plan of gun control advocates is to establish registration and confiscation, then as time progresses, they define more and more people as ineliegible and define more and more guns as illegal. Then before we know it our right has been gradually eliminated.

A Denver District Court judge on Thursday ruled petitions submitted to recall two Democratic lawmakers are valid, setting in motion the first ever recall election of a state lawmaker in Colorado history.
"The petitions here substantially comply with law," Judge Robert Hyatt said.
Gov. John Hickenlooper shortly after the decision announced the recalls elections will be held Sept. 10.
"Recalls are a fundamental right of Colorado citizens," Hyatt said in his oral decision from the bench.

The Basic Freedom Defense Fund is a non-profit dedicated to holding our elected representatives here in the state of Colorado RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for the things they do in office, and to ensure the defense of our freedoms and civil rights. We are currently providing overall monetary, legal, organizational, outreach and media support to the John Morse recall. Any donations given to the BFDF go towards the John Morse recall at this time.
Please step up and volunteer for the fight against John Morse. He has offended against the state of Colorado through his unconstitutional voting record against gun rights, his refusal to support economy boosting legislation and numerous ethics violations including changing Senate rules so that all citizens would not be allowed to testify against the citizen disarmament legislation. We have now turned in over 16,000 signatures to have him recalled from office but the fight has just begun.

If you are ready for a man who will represent and stand up for you and your precious land and water rights here in Laramie County -Vote for M. Lee HasenauerHe will put a servants role back in the Government by representing the constituants with honest friendly leadership.

Conservatism wins in 2014

M. Lee will agree that he is a blessed man!M. Leeowns a home in the Cheyenne area and enjoys hunting, camping, fishing, barbeques, fireworks and just being around his lovely family when he is not running his modest landscaping /tree business in Cheyenne. It is rare to see M. Lee out and about without one or more of his children as he makes his way around town checking on friends and family members. He is also an avid Frontier Days fan and supports their efforts to bring tourism to our community.

When almost 30 sheriffs in one state join a lawsuit against a gun control law it should get your attention. HB 1224 is the gun bill in Colorado that essentially bans all firearms that can hold more than 15 rounds, rifle or handgun, and it also makes it illegal to own a smaller magazine that can be made to hold more rounds.Breitbart.com has recently interviewed one of those sheriffs that joined the lawsuit against CO. Colorado Sheriff Justin Smith from Larimer County explained the problems with the law:

The problem with this is that those who wrote the law don’t understand firearms or magazines. And many of the most popular firearms have magazines with removal floorplates — for instance, a Glock magazine. This law will effectively ban certain magazines even if they’re under the capacity limit, based solely on the fact that they are expandable or simply give the appearance of expandability.

And then there is HB 1229 which requires every single gun transfer to involve a background check. That means whether the gun is sold at a gun show, online, or even privately a $10 background check fee will have to be applied. But there are even more sinister parts to the CO gun control bill that make it even more ridiculous.
Get ready to be shocked by how stupid this law is. Ready? There is a 72 hour rule that is your gun is out of your possession for more than 72 hours you will have to go through a background check and a $10 fee just to get it back.
Sheriff Smith went on to explain how this part of the law could apply:

“They’ve written the law in a way that the difference between legality and illegality are undefined. They simply stress that the gun has to be in your possession at all times. They’ve tried to clarify this to mean under or within your domain.
But let’s say you’re a Colorado resident in legal possession of gun you owned prior the the July 1, 2013 deadline. You have an automobile accident and while the ambulance takes you to the hospital, police find the gun in your vehicle. They hold the gun for you but you’re in the hospital longer than 72 hours.
When you finally recover and leave the hospital you ask the police for your gun and they say you have to do a background check to get your own gun back because it’s been longer than 72 hours. Moreover, you have a 17 round magazine in that gun and those are now banned, and because it was out of your possession for longer than 72 hours you’ve forfeited it.
This is a mess.”

Sheriff Smith summed it up with this quote: “We are a cantankerous bunch and this is our Alamo.”

Stand Fast In Liberty by Chuck Baldwin, July 25, 2013

This column is archived here.
People
are strange creatures. And sometimes Christians are the strangest. One would
think that people who experience freedom in Christ would be the first ones to
desire and defend the entire gamut of liberty. One would think that Paul’s words
would deeply resonate with Christian folks: “Stand fast therefore in the liberty
wherewith Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again in the yoke of
bondage.” (Galatians 5:1 KJV)
Unfortunately, many Christians today are as much in bondage as anyone outside
of Christ. They are in bondage to tradition, ceremony, liturgy, etc. It is no
hyperbole to say that they are as enslaved as were the Pharisees of old.
I
recently reread Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography. It has been awhile since I
last read it and needed to be reminded of the old sage’s counsel. In his
memoirs, he recalled how he had been invited to attend a Presbyterian church on
the invitation of the parson whom he had befriended. He said he attended the
church for five consecutive Sundays. He stopped attending after the fifth
Sunday. The two reasons he gave were 1) the preacher had a very dry and boring
delivery, and 2) the preacher was trying to make everybody good Presbyterians
and not good citizens.
I believe Franklin’s observation could be made regarding a sizeable
percentage of the pastors and churches in America today--regardless of
denomination. Baptist preachers want everyone to be good Baptists; Pentecostal
preachers want everyone to be good Pentecostals; Methodist preachers want
everyone to be good Methodists; Lutheran preachers want everyone to be good
Lutherans, etc. And if one does not subscribe to the traditions and tenets
propounded in these churches, he or she is relegated to infidel status. But
where do you find pastors and churches trying to make good citizens out of
people? That’s why one will find judgmentalism and Phariseeism rampant in most
churches today. As long as one has the form, little else matters.
Not only is
good citizenship not taught in most churches; it is actually lampooned and
denigrated. They teach that because the Scripture says we are citizens of
Heaven, we have little or no responsibility to our country, State, town, etc. Of
course, that doesn’t take them away from the mall or the television set when
their favorite ball team is playing or the lake or the golf course.
But not only are so many of today’s pastors and churches enslaved to
denominationalism, they are also enslaved to incorporationism. That might not be
a real word, but it is a real truth.
Nowhere in Scripture is the church seen
as a denomination or corporation. It is not even described as an organization.
Yet, ask the average so-called Christian today, and they will tell you unless a
church has a denomination, a building, and an incorporation status, it is not a
church. I have actually heard professing Christians say that if a church did not
have the IRS 501c3 government incorporation status, it was not a real church.
Can you imagine that? Unless the church is not officially approved and
sanctioned by the state, it is not a real church.
But what were churches before 1954, when then-Senator Lyndon Baines Johnson
introduced and successfully passed the 501c3 government corporation law in the
United States? Think of it: over 1900 years of Church history, and there was
never any such thing as a church being incorporated by the government; but since
1954, if a church does not have the 501c3 government corporation status, it is
not a real church? Holy Cow, Margaret!
Ladies and gentlemen, the churches in
the Book of Acts were not government corporations; the early churches that
followed the apostles were not government corporations; the independent churches
of the Dark Ages were not government corporations. The Reformation churches were
not government corporations; the Pilgrim churches were not government
corporations; the colonial churches were not government corporations; and the
independent churches in oppressed countries today are not government
corporations.
The Church can have only one Head, and it is not the government. It is
Christ! To put the Lord’s Church into a place of subjugation and submission to
the state is nothing short of heresy and blasphemy. And by accepting the 501c3
government corporation status, that is exactly what these modern pastors and
churches in America are committing.
As a result, pastors and churches are
afraid to do anything that might offend the IRS or jeopardize their tax-exempt
incorporation status. This has left the Church in America impotent and silent.
And, yes, I know, for some pastors it doesn’t take anything as monstrous as the
IRS to keep them quiet; the threat of offending the donor base is all the
intimidation many pastors need. Geez!
My study of history teaches me that when God’s people sought true
independence and freedom, a spiritual awakening usually accompanied such a
movement. The Church in Acts refused to be controlled or intimidated by Judaism;
the Reformation Church refused to be controlled or intimidated by Romanism; the
Pilgrim Church refused to be controlled or intimidated by European statism; the
colonial church refused to be controlled or intimidated by British imperialism;
the Confessing Church in Germany refused to be controlled or intimidated by
Nazism; the true Church in China today refuses to be controlled or intimidated
by communism, etc.
But what are most churches doing in America today? They
are being controlled and intimidated by incorporationism--specifically, the
501c3 section of the Internal Revenue Code of the IRS.
However, all over America, Christians by the thousands are seeking
deliverance from government bondage. They are tired of waiting for recalcitrant
and apathetic pastors to take a stand, and they are leaving the 501c3
government-controlled churches by untold thousands. Many of them are seeking
independent churches, while others are starting their own home churches. I know,
because many of these folks write to tell me that they are gathering in living
rooms, community centers, VFW halls, American Legion halls, etc., to watch our
service at Liberty Fellowship each Sunday afternoon at 2:30pm Mountain
Time.

In fact, my message last Sunday deals at length with what I am
talking about in this column today. Be prepared though: I preached for 1:45. Can
you imagine? And people didn’t leave or even squirm. Even teenagers and little
children sat and listened intently. Beyond that, I was interrupted several times
with enthusiastic applause by a very positive and appreciative audience. Imagine
that! Oh! And when I finished, no one came up and wanted to talk sports. Try
that in these government-controlled 501c3 churches today.
I fully realize that there are some very courageous preachers out there who
are pastoring 501c3 churches. I pastored one myself for over 30 years. For me,
getting out meant relocating 2600 miles away to the Flathead Valley of Montana.
Obviously, not everyone can do that. I also realize that trying to take a church
out of the clutches of the 501c3 tentacles of the IRS is like trying to get out
of the Mafia. Maybe harder. But I also know that the Christian migration toward
freedom and independence has already begun. And there is nothing anyone can do
to stop it. This is God’s doing.
The Church is the Lord’s Bride, and He will
not allow His bride to sleep in a whorish bed forever. Just as has been the case
throughout history, God is calling His bride out of the bondage of government
submission and servitude into the glorious light and liberty of Christ.
It will not be very much longer until there will be only two types of
churches in America: the official, state-controlled churches that are sleeping
with Lucifer and the true churches of Christ that are basking in the liberty of
the Gospel. Christians will not be able to stay neutral.
As I said, the
exodus has already begun.
And, while I may not live to see it, I am convinced that as the call for
liberty continues to swell in the minds and hearts of both Christians and
non-Christians alike, God will send an accompanying spiritual awakening to this
country; or at least, to regions within this country. It is inevitable. And,
again, while I may not live to see the fruition of this awakening, I am also
convinced that what we did by moving to Montana--and what the people of Liberty
Fellowship are doing here--and what liberty-minded people are doing all over
this country, is at the “tip of the spear” of a freedom fight that will truly
change the course of history.
Dear Christian, “Stand fast therefore in the
liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again in the
yoke of bondage.” God will never send an awakening to those who are content to
sleep in servitude.

Today, I received an email from the White House chastising Americans for drumming up "phony scandals"" against the president. This is obviously another desperate attempt try to shame and intimidate Americans from holding their president accountable for his actions.

Let me ask:

-Is it a "phony scandal" when you are caught illlegally trafficking firearms to the Mexican drug cartels, especially whe...n those guns are tracked to more than 200 shooting victims?

-Is it a "phony scandal" when an American consulate is attacked on September 11 of last year and you and your cast lie repeatedly to the American public about what happened that night, who was to blame, how you blocked efforts to protect those in the consulate and those who bravely came to their aid? Is it a "phony scandal" that those who survived are being prohibited from testifying before Congress as to what happend?

-Is it a "phony scandal" that your IRS was used to intimidate and silence your opponents and that the trail leads right back to your political appointees in the White House?

-Is it a "phony scandal" that your administration violated the sanctity of the press when they secretly tracked telepone call of AP reporters?

-Is it a "phony scandal" when your DOJ judge shopped and filed false and misleading affidavits to get secret search warrants to spy on a Fox News reporter? How about when the Attorney General lied to Congress when he denied knowledge of such activities, knowing full well his signature was on the affidavit for the search warrant?

-Is it a "phony scandal" when it's revealed that you track the phone calls and emails of nearly all Americans and your administration is caught publicly lying to Congress when the question is raised in a hearing?

No Mr. President- these are not "phony scandals," these are part of a pattern of behavior that reminds us of 40 years ago.

You can insult the intelligence and character of the American people all you want, but you cannot and will not intimidate them into silence. It's their country and you are a temporary office holder, not the other way around.

The United States is devolving into a Nation of ignoramuses, its citizens increasingly ignorant of U.S. and world history and particularly uninformed regarding the Nation’s founding documents and what led to the creation of their Nation.
The government’s public (non)education system, the agenda-driven mainstream media propaganda system, Hollywood’s disinformation, campaigns promoting bread and circuses and the infusion of millions of aliens into the country are doing the job the collectivist progressive elites envisioned. The goal is to manufacture a populace too ignorant of their rights and too preoccupied to fathom even most repressive tyranny.
A recent national poll by the Newseum Institute’s First Amendment Center revealed that almost half (47 percent) of 18- to 30-year-olds agree with the statement that the 1st Amendment goes too far in the rights it guarantees.
The poll sampled 1,006 American adults from the 48 contiguous States. Its findings are astonishing and maddening.
The 1st Amendment reads:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of the right of the people to peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

When asked to name the five specific freedoms in the 1st Amendment, 36 percent of those polled were unable to name any. Freedom of speech was named by 59 percent, followed by freedom of religion (24 percent), freedom of the press (14 percent), right to assemble (11 percent) and right to petition government (4 percent).
The survey found that that while the percentage of Americans who can name the five 1st Amendment rights has generally increased since the organization began annual polling in 1997, the overall awareness of the 1st Amendment has decreased.
Among all those surveyed, 64 percent say the 1st Amendment does not go too far. But 52 percent of blacks and 50 percent of Hispanics say the amendment does go too far. That number drops to 29 percent of the white population.
The poll was conducted in May as stories about the government’s spying on journalists with The Associated Press and FOX News were coming out. It showed that Americans were split over whether reporters should reveal their sources if doing so made the country safer. Fifty-one percent opposed government requiring journalists to reveal their sources, while 44 percent supported it. That number is up from 37 percent in 2008.
And although only slightly more than half opposed journalists being forced to reveal their sources, 80 percent expected the news media to act as a government watchdog. How journalists are supposed to do that if they can’t keep their sources confidential was not asked. The question would probably not have been understood by the 49 percent.
The (non)education system and schools — predominantly run and staffed by socialists, progressives, collectivists and Marxists — omit teaching on the Nation’s origins and vilify the Founders and their struggle — demonizing the great explorers and the likes of Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry while glorifying Marxist criminals like Che Guevera.
Regimes — Presidential, Congressional and judicial — past and present have trampled the Bill of Rights almost out of existence. The 1st Amendment is no exception.
Christians are a main target of the statist elected class, media punditry and Hollywood, all of which are working overtime to destroy the value system and morality that has existed in this country since its inception.
The Barack Obama regime has targeted Christian-owned businesses for special persecution by requiring, through the unConstitutional Obamacare deathcare system, the inclusion of birth control and abortion services in their employee healthcare plans in direct contravention of their religious beliefs against them.
It has foisted upon the country, through court sanction, abetted by an ongoing propaganda campaign and against the wishes of the majority, homosexual marriage: a union that is anathema to Christian teachings.
Freedom of speech, assembly and redress are under attack in myriad ways. The Department of Justice’s targeting of reporters, the regime’s persecution of whistle-blowers, attempts by the government to gain control of the Internet, the National Defense Authorization Act’s Section 1021, the creation of “thought crimes” through hate crime laws and the massive Orwellian surveillance state all bespeak of a regime that is becoming increasingly fearful, lacking in legitimacy and totalitarian.
In ways subtle and overt, Hollywood is destroying the moral fabric of society and the masses lap it up. Hollywood portrays the family matrix as dysfunctional, glorifies perversion and strips males of all dignity, portraying them as idiotic buffoons, lazy, incompetent and in constant pursuit of base animalistic pleasures.
Hollywood demonstrates a misogynistic attitude toward women. They are sexualized, often scantily clad and presented as “eye candy” and sexual objects; and if their bodies and features aren’t perfect, their characters are subject to ridicule and/or presented as inviting abuse or being either villainous or simpleton. A UNESCO report on the portrayal of women in the media describes the litany of common images of women: “the glamorous sex kitten, the sainted mother, the devious witch, the hardfaced (sic) corporate and political climber.”
The regime, aided and abetted by the mainstream media, constantly inflames passions, creates conflict and feeds the public distractions and bread and circus that serves to obfuscate and cover up its crimes.
Meanwhile, the Nation and the republican system are in a state of collapse — that collapse being staved off temporarily through welfare, never-ending unemployment benefits, food stamps, free telephones and other free “stuff” and money printing. The dumbed-down public remains unaware that the regime and its elite puppet masters are stealing its wealth and enslaving it, binding the chains tighter by the day.
The 2nd Amendment is under constant assault. Even though it is the Amendment by which all others can be preserved, the public is increasingly buying into the lie that guns are objects to be scorned as if they’re scorpions that sting on their own. The media and the Obama Administration overhyped the George Zimmerman trial in an agenda-driven effort to stir racial conflict and create a flashpoint of violence over which it can push for stricter gun laws or, worse, martial law.
The 4th Amendment is long gone, crushed under the so-called USA Patriot Act, NDAA, the ever-expanding Department of Homeland (in)Security and the massive National Stasi Agency spying apparatus.
Fifth Amendment rights are being eroded by the courts and the regime daily. Now Americans can be targeted for drone attacks and murdered without due process. More and more the courts are allowing the law enforcement apparatus to use all your words against you so that it’s no longer safe to even have a conversation with a police officer. And, as the ongoing DOJ persecution of Zimmerman shows, double jeopardy provisions are non-existent.
These and other rights are pushed aside and thrown into history’s trash heap. They’ve disappeared with hardly a whimper.
Important issues like the criminal “Gang of Eight’s” amnesty bill, Internal Revenue Service targeting, Benghazi terror attacks, Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal, long-term high unemployment, payoffs to and thefts by the banksters and Wall Street, ongoing money debasement and the regime’s illegitimacy are ignored while the masses occupy themselves with prescription drugs, wall-to-wall coverage of celebrity escapades, sporting events and falsely created racial issues.

Obama supporters in San Diego, California petition to grant the President immunity for any crimes he has committed or will commit while in office. Media analyst and author Mark Dice simply asks random people if they'll sign a petition to support Obama by granting him immunity for his crimes, and one person right after the other signs it to show support for dear leader.

Take a look at Mark's previous Man on the Street crazy petition videos and subscribe to to http://www.YouTube.com/MarkDice to see what happens next week, and check out his books in paperback on Amazon.com or e-book on Kindle, iBooks, Nook, or Google Play.

Will the American flag soon need to be altered? Adding a 51st star to Old Glory may be a possibility if counties in northern Colorado are able to secede from the state.
Ten of the state’s rural counties – Cheyenne, Kit Carson, Lincoln, Logan, Morgan, Phillips, Sedgwick, Washington, Weld, and Yuma – are petitioning for a November ballot proposal to secede from Colorado and create North Colorado. Though during a recent meeting in Washington County, some voiced their opinions for a less costly alternative.Dubbed the “Phillips County Plan” because of its submission by Phillips County administrator Randy Schafer during the Monday meeting, the plan would seek better representation for the rural areas of North and Northeastern Colorado in the House and Senate. Currently the Colorado General Assembly bases its decisions on population, not area. However if the state legislature does not approve the plan, the counties could look into a citizens initiative to reach the same goal.

Though the divide between the representation for the rural and urban areas of Colorado are evident, many citizens are concerned about the obstacles the counties would face in creating a new state. These include the cost of creating new statewide systems for the courts and law enforcement, highway funding, critical water agreements, as well as getting the approval of the United States Congress, the Colorado General Assembly, and voters. Even with these worries, Weld County commissioners would like to move forward with both the ballot to secede and the “Phillips County Plan.”
Whether it be better representation in the state, or the creation of a new state, the people of the rural communities want to be heard. Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway told CBS4 in Denver, “We need to figure out a way to re-enfranchise the people who feel politically disenfranchised now and ignored,”
The move toward a secession gained momentum with Weld County after state bills regarding rural energy, oil and gas development, and gun control were signed. Though this is not the first time some Coloradans have wanted to secede, this time the citizens are taking larger strides to achieve change.

Weld County Commissioners are scheduled to meet with Kansas and Nebraska next week to talk about the 51st state.
According to the Greeley Tribune, these two states have expressed interest in joined the effort.
The Weld commissioners have also been making other rounds to meet with other counties, including Morgan, Logan, Sedgwick, Phillips, Washington, Yuma and Kit Carson.
A meeting to discuss further details of the is scheduled for July 8 in Akron which is in Washington County.

Efforts to create a 51st American State out of portions of northern Colorado were stoked last month, when ten counties met to consider secession.
Now, organizers say that the state Capitol is not recognizing their efforts, which, they told CBS, have been strong since officials from such counties as Lincoln and Cheyenne first put their heads together on creating "North Colorado."

On Monday, representatives from ten counties around the northeast Colorado area met in the town of Akron to start drawing the borders for the new state that they reported will embody the ideals of conservative Colorado.
A divide between the right and left has been felt in the largely Democratic state since certain laws were passed this year: sricter gun control, monitoring what some say is cruel treatment of livestoke and expanding gas regulation and oil production caused a stir among rural Colorado residents.
"I have never seen a legislative session like this," Weld County Commissioner Conway said in June, when the bills first passed into law. "They ignore us. They won't listen to us. It started with the gun control bills and came to a head this week with S.B. 252 (the renewable energy bill) being signed."
But creating a new state comes with some issues-landmass number 51 would need to create new agreements concerning water that are imperative to farming. Agriculture uses 85 percent of Colorado's water supply, according to CBS.
"I don't want to be in a 51st state," Washington County resident Steve Frey said. "I don't want any part of their fracking that they're doing in Weld County."
Others, including Conway, say that the secession could reap benefits in the form of fresh opportunities.
"I say 80 percent of the oil and gas revenue in the state of Colorado is coming out of northeastern Colorado-Weld, Yuma County and some of the other counties," Conway said during the meeting. "70 percent of the K-12 funding is coming off the state lands in Weld County alone. I'm telling you, we are economic drivers."

Mr. Graff is perhaps the most legendary and honored professor ever at Columbia University. He was THE American History and Diplomatic History professor at Columbia for 46 years.
Of everything that Mr. Graff said in his interview, he ended by saying this -

“I’m very upset by the whole story. I am angry when I hear Obama called ‘the first President of the United States from Columbia University.’ I don’t consider him a Columbia student. I have no idea what he did on the Columbia campus. No one knows him.”

You would think that at a largely liberal collage, such as Columbia, former students and professors would be clamoring to say they have studied with Obama, produce pictures of them together or even claim to have shared a beer or two with the now president, but no, nothing.

“I went at your bidding, and passed along their thoroughfares of trade. I ascended their mountains and went down their valleys. I visited their manufactories, their commercial markets, and emporiums of trade. I entered their judicial courts and legislative halls. But I sought everywhere in vain for the secret of their success, until I entered the church. It was there, as I listened to the soul-equalizing and soul-elevating principles of the Gospel of Christ, as they fell from Sabbath to Sabbath upon the masses of the people, that I learned why America was great and free, and why France was a slave.”
– Alexis de Tocqueville, French historian reporting to the French Senate, 1800s
A few years before Dr. D. James Kennedy passed away, I spent an afternoon with him at his church in Florida. Dr. Kennedy is the founder of world-renown Coral Ridge Ministries, known for stating on national television regarding abortion (while pointing his finger at his viewers), “Four thousand die daily and 300,000 pulpits are silent.”
On one occasion, Dr. Kennedy told me that while he was holding a large convention at his church, the homosexual lobby was protesting him.
A pastor attending the convention was shocked and asked, “Why is your church being protested?”
D. James Kennedy corrected this pastor with a relevant question: “You mean, your church doesn’t get protested?”
Friends, protestant has meaning: protest – ant.
America is looking for the Christ that 78 percent of Americans claim they serve.
Agree or disagree with him, Rev. Charles Finney stated:
“Brethren, our preaching will bear its legitimate fruits. If immorality prevails in the land, the fault is ours in a great degree. If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the public press lacks moral discrimination, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in religion, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it.”
How deprived is the understanding of the modern church when it comes to its own history!
Nowadays, effeminate hirelings have infiltrated the pulpits – pulpits they have no business occupying.
By the looks of them, I can see why the enemies of America are so encouraged. Instead of preaching against sin (transgression of God’s Law – 1 John 3:4), these hirelings accept sin, attempting to cover it with a false grace (Isaiah 30) – and in so doing, teach their congregants to war against a just and holy God (Micah 3:5).
What a contrast to the preachers who thundered from America’s pulpits before, during and after the Revolutionary War, causing the colonists to stand up in the face of tyranny. The British labeled them as the much-feared “Black Robed Regiment.” The British were not the only ones who recognized them as the bulwarks of America’s Independence:
“Mighty men they were, of iron nerve and strong hand and unblanched cheek and heart of flame. God needed not reeds shaken by the wind, not men clothed in soft raiment [Matthew 11:7-8], but heroes of hardihood and lofty courage. … And such were the sons of the mighty who responded to the Divine call.”
– Bishop Charles Galloway, 1898
“The ministers of the Revolution were, like their Puritan predecessors, bold and fearless in the cause of their country. No class of men contributed more to carry forward the Revolution and to achieve our independence than did the ministers. … [B]y their prayers, patriotic sermons, and services [they] rendered the highest assistance to the civil government, the army, and the country.”
– Historian B. F. Morris, 1864
“The Constitutional Convention and the written Constitution were the children of the pulpit.”
– Historian Alice Baldwin, 1918
Today the professed church is attempting to flee from its responsibility to be part of the political process when in fact God is the one who gave government (Exodus 18:21). The church is to overcome evil with good. And as our forefathers rightly stated, “Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.”
Let’s look at the primitive church’s actions through Scripture so we can reform and align ourselves with God’s original intent for the church. And surprise, surprise – guess who they were standing against?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeD-siviqzcThink the IRS scandal is bad?You should see what MSNBC and Rachel Maddow did to Bradlee Dean.

Many Christian pastors and leaders today are erroneously reviving the divine-right-of-kings argument used in the Dark Ages, which created some of the most horrific human affairs in history. They, like the grandfather of Communism, Georg Hegel, argue that government is divinely sanctioned to do anything it pleases and that God requires people to submit regardless of natural standards of justice. This argument has been used by virtually every tyrant since Jesus’ life, including Adolf Hitler, and it is fallaciously being used by Christians.This false premise is doing more to bring America and the rest of the world into oppression and slavery than perhaps any other doctrine. Holders of this doctrine are creating self-fulfilling prophecies of America’s ruin–all in the name of a shallow reading and misconstruction of Romans chapter 13.This interpretation of the Bible and Romans chapter 13 has not gone unchallenged: it is Romans 13-The True Meaning of Submission.http://www.romans13truth.com/

The Response

Romans 13: The True Meaning of Submission shows, with overwhelming support, that submission to government is limited and that the obey-government-no-matter-what argument is false! Romans 13: The True Meaning of Submission discusses and shows sound rules of biblical interpretation and construction, incorporates logical and literary reasoning, and uses hundreds of Scriptural proofs for its conclusions.Every person, pastor, and Christian, whether skilled in biblical concepts or not, can and will learn from Romans 13: The True Meaning of Submission.Perhaps more than any other resource, Romans 13: The True Meaning of Submission will help you achieve a much greater and deeper understanding of and appreciation for the Biblical teaching regarding a person’s duty of submission and relationship towards government. There is hardly a subject today more needed in political, philosophical, and theological studies.Get your copy today!

“Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.” – Saul Alinsky, “Rules for Radicals: A Practical Primer for Realistic Radicals,” p. 126

... As the amnesty debate rages on, one has to ask: Why is it so important to this criminal administration to give a license to illegals to come into America? While most Americans are under the delusion that people favor this administration, the real question is, who exactly supports Barack Hussein Obama? Let’s go down memory lane and recollect just who (so you’ve been told) gives him all this support.

“If you love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams
